Van Security

Q: Will an alarm affect my van’s warranty or electronics?

Not at all. All of our alarm installations are carried out by experienced professionals using vehicle-specific wiring methods to avoid interfering with factory settings or electronics. We follow industry standards and use non-invasive techniques, so your van’s warranty and original systems remain fully protected.

Q: How loud is the van alarm system?

Our alarm systems are fitted with high-decibel sirens designed to immediately alert you and deter any potential thief. These sirens are loud enough to be heard from a significant distance. In many cases, just the sound of the alarm is enough to make a criminal abandon an attempted theft and move on to an easier target.

Q: Can the alarm system notify me on my phone?

Yes, many of our advanced alarm systems come with smart features like phone alerts, GPS tracking, and remote access through mobile apps. This allows you to monitor your van from anywhere, in real time. These connected features are perfect for business owners who want to keep tabs on fleet vans or tradespeople working across multiple job sites.

Q: What is a Thatcham-approved alarm?

Thatcham is a recognised UK automotive security standard. A Thatcham-approved alarm means the system has undergone rigorous testing for reliability and effectiveness. Insurance providers often favour vehicles fitted with Thatcham-approved alarms, which could lead to lower premiums and better coverage for your van.

Q: Can you install the alarm at my location?

Yes! We offer full mobile installation across the West Midlands and surrounding areas. Our team will come directly to you – whether it’s your home, workplace, or job site. This makes securing your van convenient and hassle-free, without needing to visit a garage or take time out of your schedule.

Q: How long does it take to install a van alarm system?

On average, van alarm installations take between 2–4 hours depending on the system’s complexity and the vehicle type. We aim to carry out each installation swiftly but with meticulous attention to detail. Before we leave, we’ll show you how the alarm works and ensure everything is functioning correctly for your confidence and ease of use.

Van Security

Did you know that most vans are broken into on the owner’s driveway? Vans are targeted by thieves due to advanced lock picking methods and key cloning, making it more important than ever to secure your property.

A van with no audible sounder is a big target for thieves and even if you have conventional locks fitted, they will try other methods of breaking in. Including damaging doors in a bid to get inside. At Tracking Doctor, our fully approved and mobile engineers supply and fit van security systems nationwide

Van Alarms

Most insurers of commercial vehicles provide a Thatcham-approved van alarm to be fitted. These van alarms offer door, bonnet, cargo door, and interior protection. Utilising an under-bonnet battery back-up siren and dash-mounted LED.

Sometimes, you require more protection than these van alarms offer as standard. Let us customise and upgrade your system to include:

- Additional Loud Sirens, Mounted Inside or Outside the Vehicle
- Additional Sensors, Fitted in Cargo Area or on Fibreglass Roofs
- A Separate Remote, Allowing You to Monitor and Control Your Van

Why do I need a van alarm system?

A van alarm system acts as a powerful deterrent against theft and vandalism. It helps protect both your vehicle and the valuable tools or goods you carry, which are often targeted by criminals.

With vehicle crime on the rise, especially in urban and high-traffic areas, a quality alarm system gives you peace of mind knowing your van is monitored and any unauthorised access will trigger an immediate alert.
